Tehran and Astana are resolved to expand their economic relations, said Iran's ambassador to Kazakhstan.

He underlined that trade between Iran and Kazakhstan stood at $600 million over the past nine months. "Iran and Kazakhstan have not used their capacities particularly in the economic fields despite sufficient capacities," Damirchilou added.

Earlier in December, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Ebrahim Rahimpour underlined that his country is resolved to expand cooperation with the Central Asia countries.
